Bearettes dance team’s place in civil rights history gets the spotlight in new film

I had the pleasure of interviewing artists Latanya Tigner and Lashon Daley about their film Berkeley Dance Project 2021: Turntables, which was released by UC Berkeley’s Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies this year. The dance film tells the story of the Cal Bearettes, the first majorette-style dance team in the University of California system.
